Whirlpool of India shares slip 2% post Q1 results; Should investors hold?
Shares of Whirlpool of India declined on Monday after the company reported a drop in revenue for the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26). Further, analysts remain cautious due to the promoters' proposed stake sale and the lack of clarity on future leadership. The household appliances maker's stock fell as much as 2.32 per cent during the day to ₹1,366.6 per share, the biggest intraday fall since July 8 this year. The stock pared losses to trade 1.4 per cent lower at ₹1,379 apiece, compared to a 0.14 per cent decline in Nifty 50 as of 9:55 AM. Whirlpool of India Q1 results The company reported a marginal increase in its consolidated net profit to ₹146.08 crore for the June 2025 quarter. It had posted a net profit of ₹145.25 crore during the April-June quarter of the previous fiscal. US-based Whirlpool Corporation's India unit's revenue from operations slipped 2.58 per cent to ₹2,432.32 crore during the quarter under review. It was ₹2,496.86 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. "Despite a very significant decline in industry of air conditioners and refrigerators in Q1 2025-26 versus a year ago due to a poor summer and onset of early monsoon that affected all players, Whirlpool was able to actually grow profits by keeping its volume decline minimal via continuing to gain market shares in the refrigerator and washer category in April-May," the company said in its earning statement. Analysts on Whirlpool of India Q1 Centrum Broking expects the company to post a 13 per cent sales CAGR and a 170 basis points improvement in Ebitda margin over FY25-28, leading to a 25 per cent CAGR in profit after tax. Strong balance sheet, negative net working capital, and healthy cash flows are key strengths, Centrum noted. Notable achievements over the past six quarters include strong execution, market share gains, and an improving margin profile. However, the parent entity's proposed stake reduction from 51 per cent to 20 per cent is likely to remain a near-term overhang, it said, maintaining a 'Add' rating with a target of ₹1,525 for the stock. Whirlpool reported revenue short of Nuvama's estimates, due to a weak summer season and early monsoon, analysts said. While business and financial performance remain strong, the parent company's impending stake reduction and the resulting lack of visibility on new ownership remain key overhangs, Nuvama said. Nuvama has raised its FY26-28 EPS estimates by 1-3 per cent and expects revenue, Ebitda, and PAT to grow at compound annual rates of 8-13 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively. The brokerage revised the target price to ₹1,380 (earlier ₹1,340) and the rating was retained at 'Hold'.

Techie discovers workplace stability still exists and gets confused: 'Are these people stuck or too comfortable? ...'
A newly hired software engineer was taken aback when he observed something unexpected after landing his first job—several employees at his new company had been working there for many years, with some even crossing the eight-year mark. In a time where career shifts and job-hopping are often celebrated as the fastest route to better pay and personal advancement, this discovery left him puzzled. For someone just stepping into the corporate world, the idea that so many professionals would remain with a single employer for such extended periods seemed almost unthinkable. After noticing these long tenures on employees' LinkedIn profiles, the techie turned to Reddit's Developers India community to express his confusion. He noted that multiple engineers, who had also started out as freshers, had chosen to stick around for four, five, and even eight years. While it was evident that these employees were being promoted within the company, he wondered why they weren't moving to different firms despite years of experience. His questions reflected both curiosity and concern: Were they genuinely happy? Were they stuck? Or had they simply grown too used to their environment? Would he eventually end up in the same situation?

One user weighed in by highlighting that switching jobs is inherently risky — it's a calculated move for higher pay, but not without potential downsides. New organizations can bring their own challenges: outdated technologies, poor work-life balance , or a difficult colleague. For some, staying in a familiar setting where expectations and people are known quantities might feel safer than jumping into the unknown. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Roermond: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Another Redditor responded with the perspective that time brings perspective. They advised the young engineer to allow life to take its course, suggesting that after ten years, he might find himself answering similar questions from newcomers. Others emphasized the importance of personal priorities. One user, who had nearly a decade of experience and had been in the same firm for five years, said they valued peace of mind, stability, and health more than promotions or pay raises. They preferred the comfort and predictability of their current role over the strain and uncertainty that often accompany job switches. Another commenter shared a deeply personal reason for staying put—they had been with their first company for five years primarily due to financial responsibilities at home. Having grown up in a family where income was unstable, their parents were anxious about the idea of quitting a secure job. Even though the project they were working on was unpleasant and involved outdated, undocumented code, they had stayed on for the sake of stability. Over time, they built enough savings and slowly convinced their family about the need to switch jobs. However, a major obstacle now stood in their way: a 90-day notice period. Despite applying to various companies, many expected immediate joiners or offered lower pay. After repeated disappointments, they were considering quitting without an offer in hand, hoping to navigate the uncertainty independently. This entire exchange revealed that long-term employment isn't necessarily a sign of being ""stuck"—for many, it's a deliberate, often practical choice rooted in deeper personal, financial, or emotional needs.
